Sketches! Day 3
Ok, until I get the other sketches that I got for other people scanned, you’re going to have to settle for the remaining bits of the sketches I got for me and then I will be officially done talking about San Diego.. Anywho, onto the sketches I got a sketch from Jim Calfiore of Donna Troy Then I was randomly standing in line in the Vertigo part of the DC Booth(The DC booth was a huge booth...

You didn’t think I was done with the sketches did you? Not! I didn’t get as much as day 1 but I did get a couple..

Sketches! Day 1
Thought I was done raving about San Diego? Guess again… Some last moments with some sketches I got. I got them scanned at Target earlier today(Sunday afternoon depending on where you read this). It made me realize that I still miss San Diego. I should be over it but i’m not. It doesn’t help with drama at work but that’s another story for you to read in my other blog....
Patience
I wish I had that. I do at times. Majority of the time though, I don’t. I wonder at times if patience and tolerance are one in the same or two different things altogether. I once heard the saying “Patience is a virtue most have yet to find.” I find that saying to be true. Well, that’s neither here nor there. So I requested Thursday off last week. Key words: LAST WEEK. So I...

A New Day
Well, the whole new ownership thing is scaring some people to the point were they were nitpicking and guess who was in the hot seat.. After that conversation(which I don’t really want to relive), I just have two words: FUCK THEM!!! Yeah, I said it. FUCK THEM!! Thank god my evenings the last couple of days made up for the morning and afternoons.. Anywho, it is just a job and they are people...
756
The other day I was thinking to myself that I never got to see a record happen in that place in time. I was on my way to the Philippines when Bonds tied and broke Babe Ruth’s record. The Yankee game last Saturday wasn’t televised in my area when Alex Rodriguez hit 500. I was watching Bourne Ultimatum when Glavine won 300. Now here I am as I finish a Skype conversation, Barry Bonds...

Interesting week
Came back to work on Monday which I regretted since my back was killing me and a sales rep comes in unannounced asking questions and what not. Something I didn’t need considering that I just barely figured out what happened to my desk. Its been hell the last couple of days. I don’t think anyone covered my desk while I was gone. I mean she said she did what she could do since it was...
